    Root Question about responsiveness...

    I got my NC two nights ago and immediately rooted it. I'm loving what it's capable of but I have some questions about the responsiveness of the screen. --I've been reading an e-book using the NC reader, for the most part it works great. I gently tap the right side of the screen and the pages...

    Help How do I clear Google Voice sound notification defaults?

    Earlier today I was trying to change my notification sound in Google Voice and it gave me the choice between "Music" and "Android System." I accidently chose Music and "make default" which I didn't mean to do. I went in to Manage Applications > Google Voice > and tried to clear defaults but it's...

    Accessories Beware of StealthGuards.

    Based on a few other threads on this forum I decided to go with StealthGuards to protect the Fascinate. Someone mentioned that StealthGuards appeared to be a scam but others disagreed. About 10 days ago I went online and ordred two sets of skins for a total of $4.95. They arrived today but the...

    Root Questions about flashing kernals & slcd screen.

    Flashing kernals is new to me although general rooting is not. Apparently with my new Inc I have the slcd which will only work with a few kernals. What I had to do to get some new ROMs working was flash the ROM, then flash a specific kernal before booting up. That worked and I was able to flash...

    Root Getting frustrated....new to Inc, trouble flashing ROM.

    Last night I exchanged my Fascinate for the Incredible due to some really poor call quality issues. Well, I am not a huge fan of Sense - mainly due to the swipe down action of answering calls and unlocking the phone...but I digress... So I decided to root. I've rooted several phones before...

    Accessories Looking for an inexpensive skin?

    Decalgirl.com. I hadn't seen them mentioned on this forum yet. I had one on my Eris and just got one for the Fascinate yesterday. They're pretty cool and there are some neat artistic desgins. Mine is called Papercut. Anyway, I think it's helped a little with the slipperiness of the back cover...

    Help Stuck syncing...anyone else have this happen?

    Anyone else running K-9 email? For the past two mornings my email has started to sync at about 8:30am and the sync notification gets stuck in the notification bar until I reboot the phone.

    Root Couple questions about root...

    Just rooted my phone last night. Worked great so far and I was able to remove some of the bloatware, but I have a couple of questions. 1) Will those of us that are rooted still get the 2.2 OTA when it comes? 2) Since we are not flashing custom Roms (at least not yet) do we still need to...

    Help Anyone else have a week back button randomly?

    Ugh.... Have had this phone for just a couple hours and as I was getting it set up I noticed that the back button started acting up. Randomly the haptic feedback on it is weak, only about half strength. Anyone else have this problem? Should I exchange it?

    Help Change shortcuts in notification bar?

    I bit the bullet today and got a Fascinate. When I was playing around with the Captivate at the store I noticed the shortcuts when you pull down the notification bar, the ones at the store were silent, vib only, etc. Now that I'm playing around with the Fascinate I find that its shorcuts are...

    What's a girl to do? Screen Size does matter.....

    What is up with all these GINORMOUS Android devices? The Fascinate sure is nice but it's freaking huge. And the Droid X? Seriously....? All these devices are marketed towards men. Most women I know don't want to carry around these huge devices. With that said, are there any other smaller but...

    Root Vanilla dialer question - why does it look different?

    I've been playing around with a few different ROMs to find the one that's the most stable for me, but something weird has happened. Most of the ROMs I like the best have the vanilla dialer which I love but the look of the dialer has changed and I'm not sure why. At one point the dialer had...

    Help Dialer lag....does the Inc have it?

    Trying to find out if anyone has experienced any dialer lag with this phone. Those of you who have come from an Eris know exactly what I'm talking about. What about accidental dials? Please provide feedback as to the quality of the dialer on this model. Thanks in advance!!!

    Need some advice...keep new LG Ally or wait?

    I feel a little pathetic for posting this but I need some help from my fellow Android users. Background: Been using Eris since Februray and LOVED it coming from BB Curve. My main gripe with the Eris is the actual "phone." The lag is awful and I've butt-dialed more times than I care to admit...

    Help Facebook on Ally? Anyone else having trouble?

    On my Eris I could go to Settings > Accounts & Sync > Add Account > FB....enter my log-in information and then Facebook would show up as an account under Google where I could control the sync settings. On the Ally when I hit Add Account and then FB it flashes back to the account page and the...

    Help Try this: Swype for Ally....with one catch

    I found a version of Swype that works on the Ally. I tried to attach it but it failed so I'll just link to the page I found it below. The only catch is that if you rotate the phone with the keyboard open you'll get an error about screensize. Swype keyboard appears to work great using portrait...

    Root Running EvilEris 2.0.1...can I change dialer to vanilla?

    I've asked this question a couple of times but haven't gotten an answer...my question gets lost over on xda-developers. Just wondering if anyone here knows if I can somehow import the vanilla dialer into this rom. Are there some .apks I can install? Any help is appreciated.

    Help Will the Ally get 2.2?

    Does anyone have a definitive answer to this? The only reason it's important to me is because I need to be able to sync my device with Outlook. I tried CompanionLink USB (supposedly the only software to accomplish this) but it syncs with it's own systems, not the native Contact or Calendar app...

    FWIW: New LG Ally has 50% Time Without Signal Bug

    Just got an Ally today...trying to decide whether or not to keep it. As I was messing around with the settings I discovered that it has the dreaded 50% but just like my Eris. :(

    Help Oh no! Ally has the dreaded 50% bug.... :(

    Just got the Ally today and as I was messing around with it I checked out the Time Without Signal under Settings > About Phone > Battery use > Phone idle.... I can't believe it! Or maybe I can, I don't know. Bummer.

    Help Syncing Ally with Outlook

    Anyone had success with this? I am currently able to use HTC sync with my Eris to sync contacts and calendar (I don't use Google) and it's worked pretty well. I know that LG has it's own syncing SW but according to the CSR I just "chatted" with the Ally is not supported (seriously?). Just doing...
